(b) At the Closing, the Buyer shall issue a number of shares of the Buyer’s common stock (the “Shares”) equal to Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) divided by the volume weighted average price (the “VWAP”) of the Buyer’s common stock as reflected on https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/aiff for the fifteen trading days immediately preceding the Closing Date provided, however, that for purposes of calculating the Share Consideration, the VWAP shall not be less than $3.50 per share (the “Floor Price”) and shall not exceed $7 per share (the “Cap Price”). If the VWAP during the Measurement Period is less than the Floor Price, the Floor Price shall be used to calculate the number of shares. If the VWAP exceeds the Cap Price, the Cap Price shall be used. The price per share used to calculate the Share Consideration under this Section 2.1(b) is referred to in this Agreement as the “Applicable Price Per Share.”
(c) Earn-Out Payment.
(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, following the Closing, the Stockholder Representative, for itself and on behalf of the Sellers, shall be eligible to receive an earn-out payment in the form of additional shares of Buyer’s common stock with an aggregate value of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) (the “Earn-Out Shares”), contingent upon the achievement of certain revenue targets as set forth below.

For purposes of this Section “revenue” means net revenue, which is gross revenue minus returns, discounts and allowances.
(iii) If the Revenue Target is achieved during the Earn-Out Period, the Buyer shall issue to the Stockholder Representative, for itself and on behalf of the Sellers, (on a pro rata basis based upon their ownership interest in the Company), within thirty (30) days following the end of the month in which such target is achieved, a number of shares of Buyer’s common stock equal to $500,000 divided by the Applicable Price Per Share.

2.4 Adjustment to Cash Purchase Price.
(a) Closing Adjustment. At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Sellers shall prepare and deliver to Buyer a statement (the “Preliminary Closing Statement”) setting forth the Sellers’ good faith estimate of (i) the Closing Working Capital and (ii) the Company’s cash balance as of the Closing, in each case determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the accounting principles historically applied by the Company. If the Closing Working Capital included in the Preliminary Closing Statement is less than $90,000 (the “Minimum Working Capital Threshold”), then the Cash Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of such shortfall(s), provided, however, no adjustment shall be made to increase the Purchase Price if the Closing Working Capital or cash balance as finally determined exceeds the Minimum Working Capital Threshold. In addition, at Closing, a total of $150,000 (“Operational Expense Amount”) from the Cash Purchase Price shall be directly wired to the Company’s bank account so stated on the Flow of Funds for purposes of funding operational expenses after Closing. For clarity, the Operational Expense Amount shall be excluded from calculating the Closing Working Capital, the Minimum Working Capital Threshold, and the Final Closing Statement (as defined below).
(b) Final Closing Statement. No later than ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, Buyer (with the assistance and cooperation of the Sellers, if requested by Buyer) shall prepare in good faith and deliver to the Sellers in writing a calculation of (i) Closing Working Capital and (ii) the Company’s cash balance, in each case as of the Closing Date and after giving effect to the funding of the Cash Purchase Price (the “Final Closing Statement”).
(c) Disagreements as to Final Closing Statement. The value and amounts reflected on the Final Closing Statement shall be binding upon the Sellers unless the Sellers give written notice of disagreement with any of said values or amounts within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Sellers of the Final Closing Statement. Such written notice shall specify in reasonable detail, insofar as possible, the nature, dollar amount and extent of such disagreement. If Buyer and the Sellers are unable to resolve any such disagreement within thirty (30) days after the Sellers give written notice thereof, the disagreement shall be referred for final determination to an accounting firm to be mutually agreed upon by Buyer and the Sellers, which accounting firm will not have provided services to Buyer, either of the Sellers, or their respective Affiliates within the preceding three (3) years) (the “Independent Accountants”). The Independent Accountants shall reach their determination (i) as an expert and not an arbitrator, (ii) based solely on written submissions by Buyer and the Sellers, and not by independent review, and (iii) as to only those issues in dispute, and no others. In resolving any disputed items, the Independent Accountants (x) shall be bound by the provisions of this Section 2.4(c) and (y) may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such items claimed by any Party or less than the smallest value for such items claimed by any Party. The fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Accountants shall be apportioned by the Independent Accountants between each of the Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, based upon the inverse proportion of the disputed amounts resolved in favor of such Party (i.e., so that a prevailing Party bears a lesser amount of such fees, costs and expenses). The determination of the Independent Accountants shall be in writing, shall include a calculation of the apportionment of the fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Accountants, shall be conclusive, non-appealable and binding upon the Parties for all purposes, and shall be deemed to have modified the Final Closing Statement. The Parties agree that the procedures established by this Section 2.4(c) shall constitute the exclusive procedures for resolving disagreements as to the values reflected on the Final Closing Statement.
(d) Post-Closing Adjustments. The Cash Purchase Price as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.4(c) shall be determinative for purposes of this Section 2.4(d) and shall be final and binding on all of the Parties. If (A) the Closing Working Capital as finally determined in accordance with Section 2.4(c) is less than the Minimum Working Capital Threshold, then the Stockholder Representative shall, within five (5) Business Days of such final determination, make a cash payment to Buyer equal to the amount of the applicable shortfall(s) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Buyer in writing. For the avoidance of doubt, no adjustment shall be made to increase the Cash Purchase Price if the Closing Working Capital or cash balance as finally determined exceeds the applicable thresholds.
(e) Adjustments for Tax Purposes. Any payments made pursuant to Section 2.4 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Cash Purchase Price by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.
2.5 No Indebtedness. At the Closing, the Company shall have no Indebtedness. In the event any Indebtedness exists at the Company, the amount of Indebtedness shall reduce the Cash Purchase Price payable at Closing on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

6.4 Notice of Developments; Update to Disclosure Schedules.
the Stockholder Representative, for itself and on behalf of the Sellers, and the Company will give prompt written notice to Buyer of any event that would reasonably be expected to give rise to, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect or would reasonably be expected to cause a breach of any of their respective representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained herein. The delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.4 will not limit, expand or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder (if any) to the party receiving such notice.

6.8 Covenant not to Compete.
For a period of five (5) years from and after the Closing (the “Noncompetition Period”), the Sellers shall not, directly or indirectly, participate in any business that is engaged in the Business in any geographic area in which the Business is conducted as of the Closing Date; provided, however, that (i) ownership of less than 5% of the outstanding stock of any publicly-traded corporation, or (ii) Sellers’ investment activities through the companies set forth on Section 6.8 of the Disclosure Schedules shall not be deemed to be engaging in the Business for purposes of this Section. During the Noncompetition Period, the Sellers shall not induce or attempt to induce any customer, or supplier of Buyer or any affiliate of Buyer to terminate its relationship with Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer or to enter into any business relationship to provide or purchase the same or substantially the same services as are provided to or purchased from the Business which might harm Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer. During the Noncompetition Period, the Sellers shall not, on behalf of any entity other than Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer, hire or retain, or attempt to hire or retain, in any capacity any Person who is, or was at any time during the preceding twelve (12) months, an employee or officer of the Company. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Section 6.8 is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration, or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 6.8 shall not apply to James W.G. Thompson, Marinella Gombosev and Dr. David Haase. In addition, David W. Hagedorn shall not serve as a director, officer, consultant, or greater than five percent (5%) shareholder in any company that competes with the Buyer for a period of five (5) years. David W. Hagedorn may continue to perform patient care utilizing applied neuroscience technologies for Coastal Integrative Medicine, PA, and Kinetic Neuroscience, LLC.
6.9 Financial Information.
The Sellers shall cooperate with Buyer and Buyer’s independent certified public accounting firm in order to enable Buyer to create and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission no more than 75 days after the Closing, audited financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for the two full fiscal years preceding the Closing Date, by making available the Seller’s records as they are maintained in the ordinary course of business and answering reasonable questions.
6.10 Transfer of Cash and Cash Equivalents.
On or prior to the Closing, the Company and the Stockholder Representative, for itself and on behalf of the Sellers, will transfer, or cause to be distributed all cash and cash equivalents of the Company to, among other things, pay any fees owed by Company to brokers or advisors (including termination fees under any advisory agreement) and any indebtedness for borrowed money.
6.11 Lock-Ups.
(a) Lock-Up Restriction. Each Seller agrees that, without the prior written consent of Buyer, such Seller shall not, during the Lock-Up Period (defined below), directly or indirectly (i) offer, pledge, gift, donate, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Shares, or (ii) enter into any swap, option (including, without limitation, put or call options), short sale, future, forward or other transaction or arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Shares, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of shares of Buyer’s common stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise (each of (i) and (ii), collectively, a “Lock-Up”). The “Lock-Up Period” shall mean the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the earlier of (A) the date that is six (6) months following the Closing Date or (B) the effective date of a registration statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission by Buyer covering the resale of the Shares.
(b) Leak-Out Restriction. Upon expiration of the Lock-Up Period, each Seller may, during any calendar month thereafter, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of up to ten percent (10%) of the total number of Shares received by such Seller pursuant to this Agreement. Any unsold Shares from a prior month may not be carried forward into any subsequent month.
(c) Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lock-Up shall not apply to (i) bona fide gifts or transfers to any immediate family member of the Seller or to a trust formed for estate planning purposes, (ii) transfers to any entity wholly owned by such Seller or to an entity controlled by such Seller, or (iii) transfers required by operation of law, court order, or pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, provided, in each case, that the transferee agrees in writing, prior to such transfer, to be bound by the terms of this Section 6.11 as if such transferee were an original party hereto.
(d) Stop Transfer Orders and Legends. Each Seller hereby authorizes Buyer, during the Lock-Up Period, to cause any transfer agent for the Shares to decline to transfer, and to place stop transfer restrictions on the stock register and other records relating to the Shares for which such Seller is the record holder. In the case of Shares for which such Seller is the beneficial but not the record holder, such Seller agrees to cause the record holder to cause the applicable transfer agent to decline to transfer, and to place stop transfer restrictions on such Shares, if such transfer would violate this Section 6.11. In addition, if any Shares are issued in certificated form, such certificates shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form:
“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN THAT CERTAIN SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF [●], 2025, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.”
(e) Equitable Relief. The Sellers acknowledge that any breach or violation of this Section 6.11 would cause irreparable harm to Buyer for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, Buyer shall be entitled to seek specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies in addition to any other remedies available at law or equity to enforce the provisions of this Section 6.11, without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting a bond.
6.12 Confidentiality. From and after the Closing, each of the Company and the Sellers shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, hold, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its or its respective Representatives to hold, in confidence any and all information, whether written or oral, concerning the Business, except to the extent that the Company and Sellers can show that such information (a) is generally available to and known by the public through no fault of theirs, any of their Affiliates or their respective Representatives; or (b) is lawfully acquired by the Company and the Sellers, any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives from and after the Closing from sources which are not prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation. If the Company or the Seller or any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives are compelled to disclose any information by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Law, the Company and/or the Sellers shall promptly notify Buyer in writing and shall disclose only that portion of such information which is legally required to be disclosed after using their best efforts to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information.
6.13 Further Assurances. Following the Closing, each of the parties hereto shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments, conveyances and assurances and take such further actions as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions hereof and give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents.
6.14 Cash Balance Covenant. From the date of this Agreement through the Closing, the Sellers shall cause the Company to maintain a cash balance in the ordinary course of business consistent with the Company’s past cash retention practices and shall not take any action with the intent or effect of reducing such cash balance in a manner inconsistent with such past practices. The Sellers further agree that such cash balance, maintained consistent with past practices, shall remain with the Company as of the Closing and shall continue to constitute an asset of the Company following the Closing. Such cash shall not be distributed, swept, loaned, or otherwise transferred to or for the benefit of the Sellers or any of their Affiliates at or following the Closing.

ARTICLE VIII
TERMINATION; AMENDMENT; WAIVER
8.1 Termination of Agreement.
This Agreement may be terminated as follows:
(a) by either Buyer or the Stockholder Representative, for itself and on behalf of the Sellers, if any Governmental Entity will have issued an Order or taken any other action permanently enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;
(b) by either Buyer or the Stockholder Representative, for itself and on behalf of the Sellers, if the Closing does not occur on or before June 30, 2025; provided that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(b) will not be available to any party whose breach of any provision of this Agreement results in the failure of the Closing to occur by such time;
(c) by Buyer if the Company or the Sellers has breached their respective representations and warranties or any covenant or other agreement to be performed by it in a manner such that the Closing conditions set forth in Section 7.1(a), 7.1(b) or 7.1(c) would not be satisfied;
(d) by the Sellers if Buyer has breached its representations and warranties or any covenant or other agreement to be performed by it in a manner such that the Closing conditions set forth in Section 7.2(a) or 7.2(b) would not be satisfied.
8.2 Effect of Termination.
In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 8.1, this Agreement will forthwith become void and have no effect, without any Liability (other than with respect to any suit for breach of this Agreement) on the part of Buyer, the Company or the Sellers (or any stockholder, agent, consultant or Representative of any such party); provided, that the provisions of Sections 10.1, 10.7, 10.8, and this Section 8.2 will survive any termination hereof pursuant to Section 8.1.

At any time prior to the Closing, Buyer may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the covenants, obligations or other acts of the Sellers and/or the Company or (b) waive any inaccuracy of any representations or warranties or compliance with any of the agreements, covenants or conditions of the Sellers or any conditions to its own obligations.

ARTICLE IX
INDEMNIFICATION
9.1 Survival.
The representations and warranties made herein and in any certificate delivered in connection herewith shall survive for a period of two (2) years following the Closing Date, at which time they shall expire; provided, however, that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.28, 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 of this Agreement (the “Fundamental Representations”) shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. If written notice of a claim has been given prior to the expiration of the applicable representations and warranties, then notwithstanding any statement herein to the contrary, the relevant representations and warranties shall survive as to such claim, until such claim is finally resolved. Unless a specified period is set forth in this Agreement (in which event such specified period will control), all agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement will survive the Closing and remain in effect indefinitely.
9.2 Indemnification by Sellers.
From and after the Closing, the Sellers agree to indemnify, defend and save Buyer and its Affiliates, stockholders, officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (each, a “Buyer Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, damages, fines, and out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) against or affecting such Person (individually and collectively, the “Losses”) suffered, sustained or incurred by any Buyer Indemnified Party arising out of or otherwise by virtue of: (a) any breach of any of the representations or warranties of the Sellers or the Company contained in Article III or IV of this Agreement; (b) the failure of Sellers to perform any of their covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement or (c) any liabilities or obligations of the Company or the Sellers arising out of or relating to events, circumstances, or conditions existing or occurring prior to the Closing, other than (i) those liabilities or obligations specifically disclosed in the Company Disclosure Schedule or (ii) liabilities reflected or reserved against in the Financial Statements.
9.3 Indemnification by Buyer.
From and after the Closing, Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend and save the Sellers and to the extent applicable, the Sellers’ Affiliates, employees, agents and representatives (each, a “Seller Indemnified Party” and collectively the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all Losses sustained or incurred by any Seller Indemnified Party arising out of or otherwise by virtue of: (a) any breach of any of the representations and warranties of Buyer contained in Article V of this Agreement, (b) the failure of Buyer to perform any of its covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement, or (c) any liabilities or obligations arising out of or relating to Buyer's operation, ownership or conduct of the Company or its business after the Closing Date, except to the extent arising out of matters for which the Sellers are obligated to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties under this Agreement.
9.4 Indemnification Procedure.
(a) If a Buyer Indemnified Party or a Seller Indemnified Party seeks indemnification under this Article IX, such party (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice to the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the facts and circumstances giving rise to the claim. In that regard, if any Action, Liability or obligation shall be brought or asserted by any third party which, if adversely determined, would entitle the Indemnified Party to indemnity pursuant to this Article IX (a “Third-Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of such Third-Party Claim in writing, specifying the basis of such claim and the facts pertaining thereto, and the Indemnifying Party, if the Indemnifying Party so elects, shall assume and control the defense thereof (and shall consult with the Indemnified Party with respect thereto), including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all necessary expenses. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume control of the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ counsel separate from counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel employed by the Indemnified Party shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel; in which case the fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party’s counsel shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party. All claims other than Third-Party Claims (a “Direct Claim”) may be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving notice to the Indemnifying Party. Absent an emergency or other extenuating circumstance, the Indemnified Party shall give written notice to the Indemnifying Party of such Direct Claim prior to taking any material actions to remedy such Direct Claim.
(b) In no event shall the Indemnified Party pay or enter into any settlement of any claim or consent to any judgment with respect to any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
9.5 Failure to Give Timely Notice.
A failure by an Indemnified Party to provide notice as provided in Section 9.4 will not affect the rights or obligations of any Person except and only to the extent that, as a result of such failure, any Person entitled to receive such notice was damaged as a result of such failure to give timely notice. Nothing contained in this Section 9.4 shall be deemed to extend the period for which Sellers’ representations and warranties will survive Closing as set forth in Section 9.1 above.
9.6 Limitations on Indemnification Obligation.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the liability of the Sellers to Buyer Indemnified Parties with respect to claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(a) (but not with respect to the Fundamental Representations for which recovery shall not be so limited) is subject to the following limitations:
(a) The Sellers shall not, in the aggregate, be liable to Buyer Indemnified Parties for Losses arising under Section 9.2(a) (other than with respect to Fundamental Representations for which recovery shall be limited to the amount of the Purchase Price) except to the extent that the amounts indemnifiable for such breaches exceeds an aggregate maximum equal two percent (2%) of the Cash Purchase Price (the “Deductible”). In the event Buyer Indemnified Parties’ claim for Losses, in the aggregate, exceed the Deductible, Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover for all Losses.
(b) The aggregate liability of each Seller Party for Losses under Section 9.2(a) shall not exceed 50% of the Purchase Price (the “Standard Indemnification Cap”); provided, however, the foregoing Standard Indemnification Cap shall not apply to a breach of the Fundamental Representations or in the case of fraud or intentional misrepresentation. The aggregate liability of each Seller Party for Losses in respect of a breach of a Fundamental Representation shall not exceed the Purchase Price (the “Fundamental Indemnification Cap”); provided, however, the foregoing Fundamental Indemnification Cap shall not apply in the case of fraud or intentional misrepresentation.
(c) Neither the Sellers nor Buyer shall be liable to the other for Losses arising under Section 9.2 or 9.3, as applicable, unless the claim therefor is asserted in writing on or prior to the expiration of the applicable representations and warranties.
9.7 Payments.
Payments of all amounts owing by an Indemnifying Party under this Article IX shall be made promptly, and in the event that the indemnification claim is a direct claim against the Indemnifying Party, not involving any third parties, then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to surrender stock, at Indemnifying Party’s discretion upon the determination in accordance with this Article IX that an indemnification obligation is owing by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party.

10.8 Governing Law; Mediation; Arbitration.
(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the choice of law principles thereof.
(b) The parties hereto agree to attempt to resolve any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement by mediation, which shall be conducted under the then current mediation procedures of JAMS or any other procedure upon which the parties may agree. The parties hereto further agree that their respective good faith participation in mediation is a condition precedent to pursuing any other available legal or equitable remedy, including litigation, arbitration or other dispute resolution procedures. Either party may commence the mediation process by providing to the other party written notice, setting forth the subject of the dispute, claim or controversy and the relief requested. Within ten (10) days after the receipt of the foregoing notice, the other party shall deliver a written response to the initiating party's notice. The initial mediation session shall be held within thirty (30) days after the initial notice. The parties hereto agree to share equally the costs and expenses of the mediation (which shall not include the expenses incurred by each party for its own legal representation in connection with the mediation). The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that mediation proceedings are settlement negotiations, and that, to the extent allowed by applicable law, all offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the mediation by any of the parties or their agents shall be confidential and inadmissible in any arbitration or other legal proceeding involving the parties; provided, however, that evidence which is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use in the mediation. The provisions of this section may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, and the party seeking enforcement shall be entitled to an award of all costs, fees and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to be paid by the party against whom enforcement is ordered.
(c) All disputes, controversies or claims between the parties hereto arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (including its existence, validity or termination) that cannot be amicably resolved or resolved through mediation shall be finally resolved and settled by arbitration administered by the JAMS in accordance with its commercial arbitration rules. The arbitration tribunal shall be composed of one (1) arbitrator. The arbitration will take place in New York, New York, and shall be conducted in the English language. The arbitration award shall be final and binding on the parties, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Each party hereto irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in New York, New York for such purpose and for the purpose of exercising any equitable remedies available to the parties hereunder, and each party hereby waives any objection such person may have based on improper venue or inconvenient forum in connection with any such action or proceeding in any such court.
10.9 Headings. The descriptive headings contained in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
10.10 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future Law (a) such provision will be fully severable, (b) this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, (c) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom and (d) in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there will be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible.
10.11 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, whether or not the Acquisition is consummated, all expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby will be paid by the party incurring such expenses.

10.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.
